| PF14474 | RTC4-like domain | domain |
This presumed domain is found in the RTC4 protein from yeasts. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cdc13 binds telomeric DNA to recruit telomerase and to "cap" chromosome ends. RTC4 was identified in a screen to identify novel proteins and pathways that cap telomeres, or that respond to uncapped telomeres [1]. This domain is also found in proteins that contain a DNA-binding myb domain.
